Default LED'S with slight blue tint.

Hi,

I'd like to replace a couple of my bulbs with leds, the map lights, dome light and front side clear markers. I would like a white bulb with a slight blue tint. Which colour should I get, and where from??

Thanks for the help,

Paul.

I've gone through FOUR wledx6 bulbs in two years for mirror lights. The rear dome fastoon led bulb, side markers, ashtray, backup, and glovebox leds work fine though. I'm guessing the fade effect kills the map lights.

Is this a common problem for the map lights, and where are you getting them from?

thecobrahunter that must look very unique, I find UV's make me feel ill after a while, but hey, that's just me.

Waaay waaay wait a minute. I don't go driving around with them on. They go on when I open and close my doors, and when I show them off to people. That's pretty much it. It's for the effect. And it works.

"thecobrahunter", those UV lights are sweet! I've got to know where you got them. PM me if the site isn't a sponsor. I checked the led lights site but found nothing, so, sigh... I would love to see what the would look like on a cloth white interior.

I got them off of eBay. Seller Safemoto. Can't remember what the search string is off-hand. But something with accent lights and flexible LEDs. Good luck!

I emailed Natan a few times, but he never got back to me.

I would love to see what the would look like on a cloth white interior.
(The UV's), yea that would look the muttz nutz !

I found a great site that sells LED's for our cars, but I'm don't think they're a sponsor, so I won't post up.

Thanks for the help,

Paul.
